When you look to the East on September evenings, it’s difficult to miss the Great Square. This large asterism (unofficial star pattern) is the body of Pegasus, the Winged Horse.

On September evenings IF we have a clear sky, the Great Square appears balanced on one corner, looking like a huge, slightly lopsided diamond shape in the sky. Pegasus is upside down at this time of year, but you should be able to follow the graceful curve of his neck, ending with the star Enid, or “nose” in Arabic. And from the star Scheat (Arabic for “upper arm”), the two front legs of Pegasus extend up and to the right.
